- The aim is to develop over two years the technology that
achieves
– Time-tagging at σt=20-30 psec for single MIPs, – Construct "large system" detector demonstrator, comprised of around 30-50 individual readout channels
- Next generations of detectors for hadron colliders will face
enormously challenging experimental conditions
– At HL-LHC: 140-200 overlapping interactions per bunch crossing – FCC or similar 100 TeV collider: up to 2,000 pileup interactions
- Extreme density of charged particles severely degrades event
reconstruction: charged lepton eff., jets/MET resolution, etc..

– A detector with ~30 psec timing resolution could distinguish between interactions on the basis of timing

the event: ~30 psec timing resolution
- Timing detector in the endcap:
– High granularity detectors needed in the forward region due to particle density – Radiation tolerance up to ~2x1015 n/cm2 to survive 3,000 fb-1 – Time resolution of ~30 pse for single MIPs

- Silicon sensor with specially doped thin region that
produces high electric fieldà produces avalanche providing signal 15-30 gain
– Large community: RD50 collaboration, several manufacturers (CNM, FBK, Hamamatsu)
- Key Challenges our LDRD tries to tackle:
– Achieve radiation tolerance up to 2x1015 neq/cm2 at |η| = 3.0 for 3,000 fb−1 – Develop a process to produce large area, uniform gain, high production yield LGAD sensors.

- Developed a readout board for the characterization of LGADs
– Final goal is to have tens of channels on one board: need to learn! – Similar boards developed previously by others for 1- or 2-channels – FNAL 4-ch board is cheaper, simpler, and is as good as the alternatives – FNAL board is now being used at UCSB, UCSC, KIT, CERN, and more are being prepared

- Thanks to the pixel telescope in the FTBF, for the first time we can look into
the LGAD behavior between pixels
– We measure the no-response width to be around 110μm on the HPK sensor. And around 70 μm on CNM sensors.

We observe a uniform time resolution around 40 ps across the whole sensor area Some difference between adjacent sensors due to KU board having variations on between channels
- Irradiation causes gain layer to fade
– To preserve time resolution and gain, need to increase the operating bias voltage – Excellent uniformity of signal across the irradiated HPK sensor area
- Time resolution slightly improves with the increase of the bias voltage, and
shows a uniform distribution across the sensor, around 30 ps

High uniformity of signal over irradiated sensor area
- Two distinct regions can be identified on the sensor based on the
signal amplitude:
– Different behavior under the aluminum metallization, and the region in the center
- The highest bias voltage reached is −420 V and the timing resolution is 30 ps
for the metallized part and 40 ps for the non-metallized area.
